Tim Walz claims that he was first inspired to seek public office after being denied entry to a rally for former president George W. Bush in 2004. But contemporaneous accounts of the story cast doubt on Walz’s version of the story.

Walz claimed in an August 2020 thread on X, formerly Twitter, that he decided to run for office after he and his students “were denied entry because the students had previously volunteered for the democratic party.”


“The last sitting President to visit my hometown of Mankato, Minnesota was George W. Bush in 2004. As a high school teacher and football coach, I brought two fellow teachers’ children to the speech as an educational experience,” Walz wrote. “It was at this moment that I decided to run for office,” Walz states in his story.

But testimonies from multiple people present at the rally suggest that the Democrat’s origin story could be missing valuable context, the Washington Examiner reportedFriday.

Ok, so according to the article, it wasn't because they'd volunteered for the Democrats. It was because they'd been protesting the visit a day or two before. Got it.

The origin story aspect sounds hokie enough to raise an eyebrow, but everything else is off by minor amounts. They weren't "his students" in that two of the three hadn't taken a class with him, but they were students in his charge because their parents had asked him to chaperone. He hadn't been political before, except for that protesting in the days prior.

idk, I think you guys are grasping here. He seems to play fast and loose with details for the sake of telling a good story. None of the alleged falsehoods here are about anything substantial.

As long as you have a sliding scale for morality, I guess it’s okay.

Yeah, if only he'd be more truthful like Matt Walsh.

I didn't say any of this was okay. What I said was that none of the discrepancies were substantive. If you say "I didn't sleep with a pornstar" and you actually did sleep with a pornstar - that's a substantive discrepancy. But if you say "I did sleep with a pornstar" when she really only did softcore, that's not a substantive discrepancy.

It’s just another “discrepancy” in his history. They are piling up.

On the surface this might seem innocent but I will offer two reasons why this is a far larger issue. First, it is a poor reason to get into politics. Why because it is not benevolent. Getting into politics is about thinking you have an idea and desire to do better for others. Sadly, some just want to enrich themselves.

There is a movie called "working girl" where Melanie Griffith plays a secretary that has a great idea that is stolen by her boss for a merger. At the end, the CEO of the acquiring company asks them both how they came up with the idea. The secretary nails it, she gives specific details while the boss just lies in a general way. So my second criticism of Walz is more alarmist. It is worthy of speculation because: What if this is just a cover story for the "real" reason he wants to get into politics, like that he loves the Chinese so much he wants to be like them, or even worse owes them something for favors he received, or blackmail they may have on him? See he needs a cover because he can not tell the truth. Whatever the reason, Walz is politician filled with possible foreign influences that violate the spirit of America's founders wisdom of trying to protect America from being led by leaders with foreign entanglements. Though it is true (I believe) that Walz never lived overseas in the last 14 years, the 32 visits to China alone are a cause for concern.

So the story about the Bush rally is a solid red flag. Given his actions as Governor he is a weak leader, with poor ideology anyway. He is so far away from his Nebraska roots that one has to seriously consider his motivations. So you know too Walz receives less rural votes than most other midwest democrats. To put it mildly for one reason or another Walz is an outlier. "Even Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer outperformed Walz’s rural numbers." Rural voters don’t necessarily love Walz, despite the camo hat and small-town upbringing
